Very cool shop with a nice variety of meat selections! They have fresh and frozen products to peruse, as well as some interesting sauces. I got two sausages -- one was a cheddar and the other was bratwurst. Big fan of both! I also got a BYO sandwich which was okay, but nothing super spectacular. It came with a cookie though :D read more

Theoretically I really wanted to love this place - it's close to my house, supporting a local business is great, and it's a butcher shop so they must make good sandwiches right? Unfortunately I've tried a different sandwich on two occasions now and won't be back again. The first time I got a build your own sandwich ($14) with pastrami. Usually a place either has amazing pastrami or terrible pastrami. I really did not like the pastrami here, it was super chewy which made for an unpleasant experience to the point where I was forcing myself to finish eating it but felt gross after and probably just should have thrown it out. The second time I tried the Del Valle TAB signature sandwich ($16 + $2 tax). For $18 it was incredibly disappointing. It wasn't a nice big sandwich but just a normal size. The bacon was so hard that I had to consciously make sure to eat it slowly otherwise I felt like I was going to break my teeth. And the overall flavor was lacking. read more

I've generally had positive experiences coming here. They are family-run, quality-first, and have a "personal" feel that's rare in the Bay. They Sell: - American Lamb (Not Gamey, Delicious) - High-Quality Chicken (Mary's) - Homemade Sausages - Solid Pork/Beef (including Wagyu) - Game Meats, Veal, Seafood - Deli Items - Seasonal: Dry-Age Prime Rib, Heritage Turkey, etc. Over time, I've made a conciencous effort to get my proteins here. My rotation has usually been their chicken leg quarters, ribeyes, lamb rib chops, and pork steaks. Recently, I made tandoori lamb chops (my favorite dish) with their American lamb, and it was honestly one of the best versions I've ever made (photo attached). A few extra notes: * Go during the week if you can. It's less crowded and the experience is more personal -- you get to actually talk to the folks behind the counter. * The walkways are tight. Not their fault, just something to be aware of if you're on the taller or bigger side. * Hours can be tough for a 9-to-5. They're open Wednesday through Friday during the week and close at 5, so I've had a few near-misses trying to swing by after work. Weekends are open, but plan ahead. * Online pricing would be a nice add -- would help with planning. * Wishlist: Would love to see limited offerings of premium versions of other proteins -- Iberico or Berkshire pork, Mary's pasture-raised chicken, Ora King salmon, bluefin tuna. And spirits (bourbon, rum) would be a fun addition. Overall, a great business and a real value-add to the community. I'll keep coming back - highly recommend checking out! read more

The meat was good but expensive as expected. The customer service was poor. No one behind the counter was friendly and seemed more interested in talking amongst their coworkers instead of providing suggestions, engaging with customers, etc. Several other people in the store seemed frustrated with the lack of attentiveness. The guy with the mohawk somewhat helped me but was not very friendly. Honestly, the prices and not so friendly service would probably prevent me from going back here unless I was in a pinch. At least my ribeye turned out good. read more

My husband and I stopped by for the first time to order a couple of sandwiches, and we tried the Tri Tip Cool Cowboy sandwich. OMG... I have to say, this is hands down the best tri-tip sandwich I've ever had! The place is super small and gets incredibly busy, but now I completely understand why. The staff is friendly and helpful. They do have a specific ordering process, so if you're a little confused, don't hesitate to ask the staff for guidance or you may find yourself standing in line more than once. This place is definitely a new favorite for me, and we'll absolutely be back! read more

A great local family-owned butcher shop that has become a staple in the community for the past 6 years, and hopefully for a very long time going forward! The deli is fantastic, and the sandwiches rotate monthly and seasonally, and are big enough to share, and always hit the spot! The meat selection is always fantastic, and the wide array of sides and specials made by "Mom" are always interesting and hearty as well! The service is always friendly and usually pretty quick, and the atmosphere in the shop is also nice and friendly as well. If you are looking for a nice cut of meat or some flavorful proteins for your grill, this place is a must! read more

Key Points: - wide assortment of meats, including elk and venison - They have picanha - Wagyu options available - They even have sandwiches Stumbled upon Livermore Butcher Shop on my quest to buy a holiday roast for my family. I was specifically looking for picanha aka sirloin cap, my favorite cut of beef. Not only did they have it, but I was pleasantly surprised to find different meat varieties such as venison and elk! I've always wanted to try Venison after first reading about it in Little House in the Big Woods a gazillion years ago. This was my chance! So I decided to buy two x 4-bone venison racks in addition to my picanha For meat this good, I seasoned them with nothing but "salt, pepper, and garlic powder" I cooked them Sous vide at 130 degrees F, six hours for the picanha, and three hours for the venison. Both turned out phenomenal! The venison was lean, flavorful, and tender despite its leanness. The picanha was juicy , and even before cooking it, I could see excellent marbling, akin to USDA prime, or maybe even equivalent to Australian Wagyu. Speaking of Wagyu, I'm quite certain that I also saw specific freezers with Japanese A5 Wagyu too. Will have to return to confirm. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Shout out to Luka , who did an excellent job holding/reserving the picanha for me in the freezer after my calling ahead of time. Bonus: we also grabbed some pre-made garlic bread, which was mostly the Mrs. idea, but a wonderful move. All we had to do was heat them back up in the oven, then they came out even better than the cheesy garlic breadsticks, you get from pizza shops. I think this place is going to become one of my new go-to butcher shops. Way beyond the basics. Place is casual but well kept. Can't wait to come back and try the elk. My folks are already requesting it. Edit with Shameless plug: scored the featured photo at the time of this writing! W00t! read more

Recently moved to Livermore and was looking for a good sandwich place. Who woulda thought it would be at a butcher shop. Ordered the Godmother (-$18). Sourdough roll, mollinari salami, Hobbs tavern ham, lettuce, tomato, fire roasted peppers, banana peppers, olive oil, vinegar, pesto aioli, and fresh mozzarella cheese. I optioned to toast the bread. The bread is fresh, soft inside and crunchy on the outside. I elected to toast, looks like they use a panini press. They don't skimp on the salami and ham. Produce is fresh. Great contrast of the peppers, acid from the vinegar, creamy pesto aioli, and good chunk of mozzarella. It's a balanced "Italian" sandwich. So good I came back two days later. Portion size will fill you up as a solo but definitely can be split between two people. Feels like a mom and pop operation who has been here for a very long time. Will absolutely come back for this sandwich. read more

Every Sunday, we typically go to their deli and order lunch. The sandwiches there are absolutely mouthwatering. Today, the special was Smoked Prime Rib French Dip on Semifreddi sourdough, with horseradish sauce, onion jam, and Mommy V's homemade au jus, and it was simply out of this world! The meat was cooked to perfection, and the au jus was the best I've ever tasted! Compliments to everyone at this wonderful family-owned business! read more

Recently bought their house made breakfast sausages. They are long so equivalent to two and they come 5 in a pack, frozen. They are mild, nice texture and very juicy. Delicious all around. Will stock up next time I'm in the area. As always, staff is super nice, they have ample parking and it's a nicely laid out shop. read more

Everything is always amazing and the friendly service brings me back. Love a family business. Quality is great.

My husband has been stopping by here when in the area for work, and one day he brought me by. We got the special of the month (which was a spicy tri tip sandwich), and it was honestly one of the best sandwiches I have ever had... and I don't usually get excited about tri tip like my husband does. The meat was super flavorful and moist, the spice had a good little kick, and the bread was perfect. Beyond the great food, another thing that makes this butcher shop stand out is the amazing service. All the folks are super friendly. Must stop if you're in the area and craving a good sandwich! read more

Our family recently decided to eat out less, and instead cook at home with high quality cuts of meat from local butchers. Which is how my wife and I found ourselves in our old hometown last Friday, paying a visit to Livermore Butcher Shop. We immediately noticed there was a nice ambience to the place. It was clean and well organized, with none of the off-putting smells that one often encounters at butcher counters inside grocery stores. After browsing a bit, we spoke to the friendly lady behind the counter and told her what we wanted to make - beef stew for our extended family of ten, and chorizo burritos for the four of us. She recommended the beef stew meat and suggested we buy four pounds, and one pound of chorizo. Both were about $10 a pound, so we spent a bit over $50. The next morning, the missus cooked the chorizo with eggs, onions and spices, and rolled up some yummy burritos by adding in shredded cheese, salsa, and other fixings, just the way she used to when she lived in Texas. We got eight burritos out of the one pound of high quality chorizo we had purchased for about $10 the previous afternoon. They were all delish, and way healthier AND cheaper than eating the same at a restaurant! Later that evening, we made a HUGE pot of hearty and flavorful stew from the high quality beef we had purchased the day before. This was another hit (no picture, sorry!) and was enjoyed by our extended family at our weekend family get-together. Thank you, Livermore Butcher Shop, for serving our community and feeding our family so commendably. We will be back! read more

Great service - mom & pop shop but owner knows his meat. Small corner meat counter with freezer full of exotic meat. The bone marrow we had last night was terrific- can't wait to try Waygu and duck breast. read more

As a Livermore local, I searched for the best rotisserie chicken nearby and Livermore Butcher Shop quickly rose to the top--for good reason. Their rotisserie chickens are made on weekends only, so ordering ahead is the move. The birds are smaller than big-box rotisserie chickens, but the quality is clearly higher--juicy, flavorful, and expertly cooked. I've tried the lemon and herb, and it was so good I ordered it again the following week. The shop is small, but the service is big. Friendly staff, genuine smiles, and attention to detail you don't see often. On my second order, they remembered my name--and even took a moment to make my daughter's day with a simple act of kindness. We sat down as a family and finished two chickens down to the bones. All week long, the only conversation was, "Next time, we should order more." I don't review often, but when I do, it's for places like this. Highly recommended! read more

Good and services great. Very expensive. For 2 rib eyes and 2 frozen lobster tails paid $156

Quality beef, poultry, homemade sausage and sandwiches are all available from a friendly & knowledgeable staff. Extra items for the kitchen are also available along with beer & wine specialties. We have been going here since its opening and it only improves with age. This is a family run business and happy to support. Going to grill up some steaks today which are sure to be a hit with company. read more

Drive from Concord to Livermore just to check out this butcher. Quaint shop, great friendly staff, solid recommendation of ribeyes for a Christmas day BBQ.

My husband and I try to come here once a week, we have found a lot of their prices to be competitive with the local grocery store and their knowledge on meats and how to cook it in the best way is so helpful! We have learned that we can put orders in ahead of time to guarantee we get what we'd like. Anthony is a pill but you'll learn to love him. And he knows how to bbq like no other. Also check them out every May at the annual Firefighters Chili Cook-Off. It's a fun time and they are last year's winners! read more

Cuhh, need meats? Came in the morning 9am ish. First time here, Smorgasbord of sausages. Service was great and didn't treat me like another weak customer. Friendly, professional, and took me on a small little tour to show me certain items. Andrew helped me out with his coworkers working hard being attentive to whoever came in. Knowledgeable business with homey feeling. In house items sprinkled through out the shop. If you like "Macaroni Salad" get the one named "Mommy V... pretty solid. Would come back for sure when heading up the Altamont pass. read more

Today was my second time in here, can't figure out why only twice, got a sandwich and potato salad , both were so delicious,I will be going back, Love being able to get what you want, and great service, all the employees are so nice, if they are busy they acknowledge you. If you have not been in go try it, I guarantee you will be pleased !!! read more

Best meat in the area! Great people! A real Livermore gem!!!! Couldn't be better! Friendliest people and family owned and operated

Over the past few weeks, I've visited this butcher shop three times, and without a doubt, it is worth every penny. The quality of the meat is on a completely different level compared to anywhere else I've shopped, and the knowledge and customer service from the owner, his family, and the staff are truly outstanding. Everyone is incredibly kind, welcoming, and passionate about what they do. Even when it's busy, I don't mind waiting at all -- it's absolutely worth it. I gladly travel from outside of Livermore just to shop here, and it shows in my meals. Everything I've cooked has tasted noticeably better -- easily a notch or two above the rest. Highly recommend! read more

Excellent service! Great ownership and staff. So lucky to have a place like this around!

Originally, I thought their meats were okay, nothing to write home about, but seemingly fine. But my husband took some of our knives to be sharpened, and they absolutely ruined them. I've had these Henckels for more than 4 decades, and they treated them like crap. Why would a butcher shop do this to knives? I don't know the answer, but I do know that I wouldn't trust them to butcher meat or make sausages if they have no respect for food, customers, or equipment. No pride in their work, no sense of customer service, no respect for those eating their food. This is a huge NO for me. read more

Livermore Butcher Shop - What kind of butcher can't sharpen a knife!?! - Butcher Near Me - Livermore, California

We ordered old fashion franks for our annual Christmas Eve dinner, they were fantastic. The owners and staff are very friendly and helpful.

These folks are the Fine Palace of Meats. If you must have a high quality steak, your search is over. The butchers are very knowledgeable. Even if you don't see it in the case, ask. Good chance they have it. They also have a knife sharpening service, which is getting harder to find. This place is my Friday habit for a great sandwich. It's a really cool place to get your favorite meat sandwich. read more

I visited this very cute shop in downtown Livermore that offered a wide variety of selections. Although I didn't try any special cuts of meat, I decided to sample their sandwiches, which come with a cookie. I built my own turkey sandwich featuring bacon jam, which is a game changer! It seems to be family-owned and operated, as everyone I spoke to was very friendly and provided recommendations. I will definitely be back to try more sandwiches and meats. read more

How have I not been in here before - this place ROCKS! We ordered a fresh turkey for Thanksgiving and a couple of sandwiches. Aurora can make me a sandwich any day of the week; she's amazing Kudos to Andrew and the rest of the staff. It's a great little spot, and I'll be going back SOON read more

Well I was prepared to purchase here but...I walked in, 5 people (employees) behind the counter chatting with each other, no customer besides me but no one said welcome or hello...I was looking at the meat selection for at least a minute giving them a chance to say something...but no one did! Walked back out! Won't patronize a place who doesn't acknowledge their customers. read more

Man. This place is good. The Mr. is always looking for a new butcher shops to try and this one does not disappoint. Outside: Clean Plenty of parking Easy to find Inside: Small but not too small Lots to choose from depending on your craving to cook First time we showed up, Anthony, greeted us, took his time helping us and offered suggestions of what to try and gave us a sample. This alone impressed us. The rest of the team was as friendly and welcoming so it wasn't just him - he was the only one who introduced himself by name. Second time we came (literally, a week later) the staff again was awesome. She (didn't catch her name!) mentioned her mom had just made the zucchini boats and mac & cheese. She talked about her favorite things to try and we bought a few items and left super happy to try. We've tried: -Bacon Wrapped Jalapenos w/ Chorizo (so good & spicy) I air-fryed and they cooked perfectly -Chorizo (amazing actually) -Zucchini Boats -Loaded Potato -Chocolate Chip Cookies (these are SO damn addicting) -Mac & Cheese w/Link -Homemade Croutons (holy moly these are so good) -Sausages Everything has been worth the $ spent. read more

I shop here every year for Christmas, and it's especially good for finding unique meats - like duck, specific cuts of steak, pork etc. If they don't have it they will order it for you. Really friendly staff and a lot of inventory and other condiments are available on site. Nice family run business and I highly recommend shopping here over getting meat at Safeway or something. Also serve really good sandwiches which I am always sure to pick up when I get my meats. Really can't recommend it enough! read more
